hopefully someone out there can help me with some advise or direction .
i was raised jw and disassociated 30 years ago.
my family all remains jw so i'm very used to all the usual "world is ending, you're going to die" rhetoric i've gotten from them over the years.
<If you ask me, my BIL is having audio hallucinations (he does have a family member who is schizophenic- is it genetic?
This is a genetic condition-but I would'nt call the elders, they won't "help" him. Your niece would probably be the only one close enough to get help for her parents. (Professional help)
if they did not know before this past friday's airing of dateline they do now.
dateline previewed this tuesday's show.

This is sickening is'nt it?? Has anyone else had a JW telling them about the show?

If they did not know before this past Friday's airing of Dateline they do now. Dateline previewed this Tuesday's show. My JW Mom calls me the next morning to tell me about it. Of course, I pretend like I know nothing about it. The phone call I know is pre-damage control. She says right off the bat, "well at least there not paying people off to keep their mouths shut!"(Like the Catholics)How does she know, she has'nt even seen it yet? Now she will go to all of her JW friends and tell them about the show and we all know how fast things get around at the KH. Now I will get to listen to all the BS after the show, the excuses etc. And the same old thing, "Its' not as bad as what the Catholics have done". WHATEVER!!!!!
hi guys, .
do any of you know if van morrison was ever a jw or studied with the jws?

How old are you Mike Musto? I thought from some of your other post that you were Mr. Hollywood.

Hi guys,
Do any of you know if Van Morrison was ever a JW or studied with the JWs? I was listening to Howard Stern the other day and his daughter was on the show. A guy called in and asked her about a song he sings, "Kingdom Hall". So I went to Kazaa and looked it up and sure enough it was there. It is on his 1978 album, Wavelength and they show the album cover with what looks like him smoking a cigarette (lol). At any rate, the song is about swinging and singing down at the KH. Swingng? The only swinging I ever heard about had nothing to do with dancing. I was thinking maybe he had not ever really been to a KH until I read his biography at Kazaa, here is a small part of it:
< Morrison mounted his first tour in close to five years in support of 1978's Wavelength; his performances became more and more erratic, however, and during a 1979 date at New York's Palladium, he even stalked off-stage in mid-set and did not return. >
He must of been a JW huh?

this afternoon while wasting time at the promenade mall, in temecula, ca (southern cal) i had a hard time containing my laughter.
just in front of me were two women behind a table full of wbts literature.
what caught my eye was a young people ask sign.
They do this at the airport also. They should sell cookies or candy bars and then throw in a "free" magazine with it. This way they would'nt have to lug all of those magazines back home again.
have you ever heard bitter divorcees relate their experiences about their former husbands or wives?
most of the time, if it is a wife telling the story, her former husband could not do anything right.
he was a terrible father, lover, provider, cook, gardener and he smelled funky and was abusive.

NON: Have you ever heard bitter divorcees relate their experiences about their former husbands or wives? Most of the time, if it is a wife telling the story, her former husband could not do anything right. He was a terrible father, lover, provider, cook, gardener and he smelled funky and was abusive. In other words, he was a total loser.
One wonders how the woman ever became attracted to such a loser or did he just change over time?
MARCH: He changed over time, who would marry him as described above?!?!
NON: While the awful depictions of husbands are sometimes true, I think the negative depictions are oftentimes exaggerated. Could everything have really been bad all the time? Maybe. Then again, maybe not.
MARCH: No, they were that good, I just felt like getting divorced, nothing better to do!!!!
NON: Peeps on this board sometimes remind me of bitter divorcees. Once they were supposedly happy Jws who had that first love and joyfully engaged in meeting attendance and the preaching work. Then something happened. What took place? What was responsible for the change in attitude? How did the organization go from THE org to THE borg? You tell non. Are you folks being a little hypercritical in this place?
MARCH: I am a bitter exwife and a bitter exjw. Your being a bit presumptuous about the joyfully engaged in meetings and preaching. What took place? Both the ex old man and the borg pretended to be something they were not. They looked real good til they hooked ya and once they hooked ya, ya got to see em for what they really are. My ex used to tell me I would never do better then him, hmmm sounds like the borg. So your right Non, I was once "supposedly" happy but now I am bitterly happy! Hypercritical? No, I no longer pretend to love either.
at about 6:30 this evening my mother passed away.. .
the best mother and the best wife anybody could ever be blessed with.
she was not only my mother, she was my friend.
((((((((((((((((((((AMANDA))))))))))))))))))))
As a daughter, as a mother, my heart goes out to you. It takes time........................................................................................................................................

HY,
I never doubted yout story, not for a minute. You sure went into alot of detail if it were made up. Oh well, can't make em all believers.(no pun intended)None the less, even if I thought your story were not true, it sure was interesting reading.
